DeutschList of Mega Man Star Force episodes
The following is a list of episodes for the Mega Man Star Force anime series, known in Japan as Ryūsei no Rockman (流星のロックマン, Ryūsei no Rokkuman, Shoting Star Rockman). The anime is currently composed of two series: the original series and Tribe. The anime series began on October 7, 2006 in Japan, and an English adaptation premiered on Toonami Jetstream on July 23, 2007.
The original Japanese episodes are roughly 10 minutes long, so the English version combines two episodes together to fill a single 30-minute time-slot. (An exception was made with Japanese episode 25 which was accompanied by ten minutes of recycled footage from previous episodes.) The show has only ever aired once on television as a 2-hour faux-movie presentation—composed of heavily slimmed-down versions of Japanese episodes 1 through 16—on Cartoon Network. Currently, it is unknown if it will ever air regularly on television, so the English air dates below refer only to the online airings on Toonami Jetstream.

Notes[edit]
- ^ In the Japanese version, "buku" is a phrase Cancer commonly utters after sentences. It's comparable to the character BubbleMan from the series's predecessor, MegaMan NT Warrior, who ended statements with "puku" in the Japanese version. Both words are Japanese onomatopoeias for the sound of a bursting bubble.
- ^ In Japan, W is commonly used in slang and advertising to represent the English loanword "double".
- ^ "Himanalas" is a play on the Himalayas.
- ^ "Nansca" is a play on Nazca and the Nazca Lines.
